Admire the incredible Roman architecture from the upstairs terrace, imagining what it would be like to take a dip in the grandeur pool below you.

This photo was taken in the Roman Baths, on the upper floor overlooking the Great Bath. If traveling from London, I recommend taking the train from London Paddington, but there are multiple train routes that can be taken. To get to this viewpoint, enter the museum and then head to the second level, just east of the on-site gift shop along York Street. I stood facing east with a view of Bath Abbey in the background. By Train: - Closest station: Bath Spa (via Cross Country, GWR or Southwestern Railway) - Walk west towards Brunel Square - Turn left onto Dorchester St/A3039 - Turn right onto St Lawrence St - Turn left to stay on St Lawrence St - Turn right onto Stall St - Turn right onto York St and the destination will be on your left For more information, check out their website: https://www.romanbaths.co.uk
